The conclusion of "Confession".

Sayo becomes obsessed with plotting the mass murder-suicide, but her resolve to commit such a horrific act of violence wavers despite being too far gone to abandon her intentions. She begins to become desperate that she'll be discovered, and be both punished and spared by someone who understands her.

A handful of other tricks from past games were revealed. I'm most interested in the implication that Rudolf and Kyrie could be bribed by Sayo to commit murders of her design.

With a possible "spoiler" warning (mysteries are a challenge, and all), this was my personal theory regarding Episode 3: Banquet of the golden witch:

The confession part was amazing and really made me feel sad for Sayo unlike EP 7 that didn't quite get me on that part. I'm liking how this is going so far, currently better than the VN counterpart by far.

Agreed!

Hm I wish the discussion chapters for this manga was up to date.. I've completed the entire series now and that ending was golden! pun intended Truth! 9.3/10 for Ep8.

Although Umineko is definitely well known, I suppose Episode 8 itself is rather not quite popular considering each of the 8 installments individually.


All in all, Umineko was one heck of a ride that I slowly spent about 2 years on and am truly satisfied~

Confession Of The Golden Witch might be one of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever read... And it's exactly what the visual novel lacked. I'm glad that Ryukishi07 decided to put the key to everything at least here, in this manga adaptation... Now I feel like I was able to finally understand Sayo's heart.

Incredible backstory from start to finish

"No branches and leaves will prosper from ruch rotten roots. So come and die together with me. Then nobody will have to suffer anymore" found my favourite quote of the series
